I was nervous to purchase furniture on but I was extremely impressed with this bed frame. The instructions were clear, hardware separated and labeled, made of high quality materials. I appreciate all the attention to detail that went into this product. There is Velcro on the frame and slats to help position them and keep them in place. There are two sticky strips on the slats to keep your mattress from sliding around. A ratchet is included that makes assembly so much easier than with the traditional Allen wrench. Even the packaging was a notch above the rest. All the Styrofoam used to protect the pieces in shipping was individually sealed in plastic, meaning there were no little foam pieces all over the place after unpacking the box. Its a little thing but it really makes a difference. My main reason for purchasing this bed was because it is completely enclosed around the bottom so my cats cant get under and hide. Many platform beds I looked at were only enclosed around 3 sides and open on the short side that would be up against a wall - but if you have cats that like to hide from scary things like doorbells and neighbors, you know they will find a way in there and be impossible to extricate. This bed is completely enclosed along all four sides, and does the trick beautifully. My only design critique is that I wish the headboard was a bit taller. I know it is designed to be used without a box spring, and if you choose to do that, the headboard is just fine. I prefer to keep the box spring so that I am not so low to the ground and therefore the headboard is mostly hidden behind the box spring and mattress. That was my choice however, and I knew it would be a sacrifice on my end. Cant say enough good things about this bed!
Excellent quality, Attention to Detail
